TUIO
TUIO · Toronto, Ontario, Canada · founded 2017
What it is
TUIO is a web platform for schools and childcare centers that brings billing, enrollment, student records, attendance, fundraising, and family communication together. Its tuition tools create automatic invoices, custom programs, payment plans, accounts-receivable workflows, and automated payments. Enrollment features include custom forms, digital waitlists, fee collection, and family messaging. The student information system stores digital records with custom fields, exports, lists, and internal profile notes. Staff can record attendance manually or automatically, manage classes and schedules, and notify parents about absences or late arrivals. TUIO supports a QuickBooks Online accounting workflow through SaasAnt, using exported deposit and payout data. The company says two-factor authentication is mandatory, traffic and stored records are encrypted, and Canadian AWS hosting is used for student and family records. Families pay schools directly; TUIO says it does not store payment numbers or hold funds. Professional costs $500 a year per physical location, billed annually.
